Over 50s Money Saving

A question about : Grow old disgracefully.

Thought i'd just pop in here for a chat.I've been feeling very low just lately with bad arthritis pain, the last two days have been much better for me. I have been doing lots of my own research as I've not had much help from the medics and I came across 30 ways to grow old disgracefully.

A question about : You know you are getting on a bit when....

Lucian from the Liver Birds is playing the ageing father of the lead in Good Cop where's his rabbits?

A question about : Unpaid Nursing Home fees after death

My DH is executor to the will of a lady who passed away at the end of February.

She spent her last few years in a nursing home with dementia. She had little in the way of savings and therefore social services were contributing to her care, she was contributing her state pension and small private pension less the personal allowance.

A question about : Great Things To Know Before You Retire Hunt

What's it about?

Well, it does what it says on the tin to be honest. I'd like to tap the wealth of knowledge of retired MoneySavers to see what tips you'd give those in their last few years before retirement. Is there something you've learnt since retirement that you wish you'd known before?

What to do?

A question about : Warm Front advice

A question about : Tenants in common

Hi, a friend of mine has been advised to put her and her husband's house in Tenants in common, rather than joint names, this has been done with a Solicitor.

Apparently if one of you has to go in a home then they can only take half of the house when the time comes after you have both passed on, rather than the whole amount if it is necessary.

Has anybody done this? Also is it true that if you have dementia or Alzheimers etc, that you are not charged anything in a home of your choice.

Thank you, oap

A question about : Have free bus pass, want to travel.

If you have a free bus pass and want to travel, like most other people, you are only familiar with the services within your borough/county. For example within Northants, there is a service X4 which runs between Peterborough & Milton Keynes, albeit through Kettering/Wellingborough/Northampton. This would be ideal for covering a fairly long distance free, something we are unable to do with coach operators.
